About Alicia

compassionate | well-rounded | educational

Alicia (she/her) completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware and received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Columbia University. Growing up with a background in dance led her to seek a career in movement and physical medicine. She seeks to treat the body and person as a whole and prioritizes building relationships to develop a unique plan of care for each patient. She seeks to educate patients on how to stay physically healthy so they can achieve their personal goals. Alicia is certified by the Postural Restoration Institute, which seeks to understand the primary factors of postural adaptations, patterns, and kinematic movement dysfunction. She is also recognized as a Fellow of Applied Functional Science through the Gray Institute. Alicia has continued her education to include pelvic floor health, as well as prenatal and postpartum health. She has taken courses from the Herman and Wallace Institute as well as various birth education practitioners. She believes the pelvic floor should be treated as any other body part and is an integral part to healthy body function. She currently stays active with a variety of activities from running, to strength training, to yoga, and is always willing to try something new. As an active person, she understands the drive to return from injury efficiently with an understanding on how to stay healthy.
